Band Auditions

Today we had auditions for the band class we're going to be in next year.
And although it wasn't specifically a theatrical experience, I wanted to write about it, because I noticed a huge change in my audition this year compared to last year. Last year I was extremely nervous, my throat closed up, and I completely screwed over my audition.

This year, I think the theatre experience on stage really really really helped me keep my cool.

I've gotten over my stage fright.
And gotten over my fear of
PERFORMING IN FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE.

It didn't bother me at all, going in there and playing my piece for the judge.
I already knew that I had practiced it well and knew my stuff.
So playing it wasn't that big of a deal.
I was sick that day, but it didn't matter.

Theatre has helped me with my breathing, my posture, my stage fright, and my CONFIDENCE.

I had no idea it could affect me so much in all these other areas as well, outside the stage. :)
